Nkwain Stephen Poems

==MY BROTHER==
His lifeless right hand was glued
To a poster that read: 'no to violence'
On his lifeless left hand, a fresh peace plant.
...

Under the shelter of silence
I take refuge.
Quietude is my ransom.
Yes! If I open my mouth,
...

BEHIND YOUR BARS

I can no longer beg for your mercy
I have lost my right to sympathy
...

SOUL OF A VICTIM
Do not remind me of this memories
I have gone too far
You can't soothe me now
...

Place your finger on lips
Gentle friend, seal my lips
Allow me not to burst into tears;
It burns me deeply!
...

THE TWO DEVILS

I feel your pains like I'm the sufferer
But my mother is no Alcmene
...

I will tell you to fasten your belt
Buckle your shoes and stand firm
The long awaited end is not coming soon
The rescue ship is not even in the creation
...

Oh Baba!
I am still listening
Tell me another story
This time, speak from a different script
...
